EVENTs at THE SWan

The FESTIVAL OF CHRISTMAS

COCKTAILS AND COMEDY in collaboration with Greytown Distilling Company

Every Wednesday in July | The White Swan, Greytown

Doors open 7pm | Show starts 7.30pm

The Greytown Distilling Company is turning up the festive spirit (and the laughter) this July at The White Swan Hotel! Join us for a very merry season of world-class stand-up comedy, live by the fire in The White Swan Captain's Dining Room, every Wednesday night throughout July.

We’re shaking things up this year — expect a more relaxed, informal vibe, perfect for winter catch-ups and a mid-week laugh.

Your ticket includes a signature Greytown Distilling Co. Gin cocktail on arrival to get you in the spirit.

Feeling peckish? Book a table in our Gastro Bar for a pre-show dinner at 5.30pm. There will be a comedy exclusive menu - fast, fresh, and delicious! More information to follow soon.
